Should You Accelerate or Decelerate When Driving Through Puddles?

[SkylarFitz]

Decelerate when driving through puddles. Here are some relevant tips for novice drivers: Skills and mentality: Skills require practice - find a less crowded area to practice more. Mentally, you need to transition from the mindset used during the third driving test to actual road driving. Driving during the third test is completely different from driving after obtaining your license. During the third test, you're driving a training vehicle; other drivers will actively give way when they see a training car, and fellow trainees will maintain safe distances because they know you might stop at any moment. Displaying the 'L-plate': However, when driving a private car after getting your license, other drivers won't be as courteous. At this point, you need to display the 'L-plate' in the appropriate position on your car to let others know you're a beginner, which is safer.
